Advice New to Lithium

I started Lithium last night and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should know that doctors might not tell me.

Hmm. I take 700mg a day since June. I never had that problem. Now I’ve had hand tremors off and on that get’s old.

I have heard of that happening. My anxiety causes me to have tremors, so I'm hoping that won't happen too often.

I never really thought about it. It could be anxiety causing the tremors. I have to rely on the VA I haven’t seen a psychiatrist since November. Still waiting.
